By default on Windows this is `exe` and on other platforms it is omitted. - `build_by_default` causes, when set to true, to have this target be built by default, that is, when invoking plain `ninja`, the default value is true for all built target types, since 0.38.0 - `override_options` takes an array of strings in the same format as `project`'s `default_options` overriding the values of these options for this target only, since 0.40.0 +- `implib` when set to true, an import library is generated for the executable (the name of the import library is based on *exe_name*). Alternatively, when set to a string, that gives the base name for the import library. The import library is used when the returned build target object appears in `link_with:` elsewhere. Only has any effect on platforms where that is meaningful (e.g. Windows). Since 0.42.0 The list of `sources`, `objects`, and `dependencies` is always flattened, which means you can freely nest and add lists while creating the final list. As a corollary, the best way to handle a 'disabled dependency' is by assigning an empty list `[]` to it and passing it like any other dependency to the `dependencies:` keyword argument. diff --git a/docs/markdown/Release-notes-for-0.42.0.md b/docs/markdown/Release-notes-for-0.42.0.md index c8a3305..f0ea534 100644 --- a/docs/markdown/Release-notes-for-0.42.0.md +++ b/docs/markdown/Release-notes-for-0.42.0.md @@ -66,6 +66,12 @@ instruction sets and selecting the best one at runtime.
